The Calexico Baja Runners have stepped up their community outreach during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Early in April the Calexico-based service group donated nearly $1,200 to the Imperial Valley Food Bank and followed up with lunch for the El Centro Regional Medical Center staff on Saturday. Members of the club grilled carne asada and added beans and tortillas for the hospital staff. Over the years the Calexico Baja Runners have been active donating school supplies , providing academic scholarships , donating to food pantries and sending care packages to troops overseas among other efforts supporting the community.
